Here at Playful
Planet Games, we believe that people have an inherent need to learn new things,
explore the world around them, and use their imagination.
Play is just one way to learn, explore, and imagine. Children play, but play
need not be limited to childhood. Adults play as well.
We are committed to developing games that build upon these principles.
Our first game,
, a magnetic board game with 75 letters
focusing on language skills, demonstrates this. To play the game, players
unscramble (decipher) words, and then build (formulate) new words. As with most
play, players do not notice when they use conceptual and problem-solving skills.
But in the process of having fun, they strengthen and improve these skills as well as
increase
their vocabulary.
The game's design accommodates play at varying skill levels and the process
of playing itself increases skill level. This allows a wide range of ages to
participate.
As with any game, it has explicit rules. However, the design encourages
players to develop unique variations.
We feel that once you play
you will see that it promotes
learning, exploring, and imagining. In short, it is one way of promoting learning through play.
